Now that he has been traded to the Clippers, Mo Williams is hoping to build a similar rapport with Blake Griffin as he developed with LeBron James while they played together for the Cavaliers.

“Me playing with ’Bron, we built a great relationship on and off the floor,” said Williams. “As great as he is, he respected my leadership on the floor. That’s why we worked so well and jelled so well together.

“It’s going to be the same with Blake. Just watching him from afar and talking to people that know him personally, I think he and ’Bron are similar in a lot of ways. They continue to work and want to get better.”
